Top 10 Free Halloween Music and Sound Effect Websites

Halloween is a fun time to scare your friends and neighbors with your decorated front yards and blast some haunting and scary music from hidden speakers. Halloween is also a great time for parties, and every party needs music. For free downloadable Halloween music, here is a list of 10 sites you will enjoy. For many of these, all you need to do is right click on the song or sound link and click 'Save As' to download it to your computer.

All About Halloween.com is an eerie site that has multiple downloads of almost every monster song from a movie or TV show in two categories: words or no words. The list includes The Munsters, The Addams Family, Twilight Zone, BeetleJuice and many others. They also have classic Halloween songs and also Haunted Mansion sounds, too.

I love wavs.com boasts 82 scary music downloads. These range from The X-Files theme, to Michael Jackson's Thriller, to The Nightmare Before Christmas. They also have multiple Halloween sounds to check out as well. They even have bits from television shows, like the Halloween Hoedown by Whose Line Is It Anyway.wav. I love that show!

Haunted bay.com is another site that offers free downloadable Halloween music. They have the standards, and then interesting ones like "The Worms Crawled In" or "Tales From the Crypt". They even have a bonus song from the 1920's. Check out the site and scroll to the bottom to find it. Clue: it has to do with dancing bones! They also have a few sound effects like church bells and a wolf howl.

13thtrack.com offers streaming Halloween music right on your desktop. You can listen while working on the computer or surfing the net. They have an assortment of interesting songs. Not quite what I expected, but cool nonetheless, and quite catchy!

Joelbramblett.tripod.com is mainly Halloween sounds, not much on the music aspect of it. The sounds are all really good for effects, like: footsteps, a funeral bell, chirping crickets and ghosts moaning.

Kidsmusic.co.uk is a site with 10 free Halloween songs for kids. Just right click the link to the song you want and hit 'save as'. The key thing is to remember where you saved it!

Allhallowseve.com has a juke box that plays 7 ghoulish songs. They are not something I would play for my kids, as it might scare them. I do like them, though. They are very interesting songs... take a listen for yourself at the link below. No need to download them, you can listen to them very easily right on the computer; just click on the song title and it will play.

Area512.htmlplanet.com has a link to circus and carnival creepy music. If you are spooked or know someone who is spooked by clowns, then this is the site for you! Even the page is creepy with the evil clown faces and the gargoyles blinking... it gives me the shivers! These are downloadable midi files.

Karrenkountry.com has a list of spooky sounds like a bubbling cauldron, moans and the creepiest... a heartbeat! This is not an advanced site, so if you have a slow computer, this one might be perfect for you!

Cavernsofblood.com doesn't have downloadable music, but they have 52 eerie sound files and 69 midi files to peruse. As I was counting them, I came across the Candyman theme. http://www.cavernsofblood.com/scarystuff.html#music

Check these sites out for yourself and see what you can find!! Whahahahaaa!!
